About

A 4‑bucket, rules‑based portfolio that shifts among US stocks, tech, commodities, bonds, cash and volatility. It follows trends and recent winners and flips to hedges when fear spikes. Uses leveraged/short ETFs; very high risk.
NutHow it works
It splits money into 4 buckets. 1) Crash sensor: if the fear gauge (VIXM RSI) runs hot, hedge with SPXU (short S&P). 2) Stock trend: if the S&P is above long averages, use UPRO/TQQQ; brief dips/overheats flip to UVXY or short‑term bonds. If not, hold the best of foreign stocks or Treasuries. 3) Commodities: if DBC is trending up, own the strongest; otherwise use an inflation‑hedge mix (gold, real estate, dollar, volatility). 4) Broad momentum: pick recent winners across sectors/countries. If bonds lag cash, default to the hedge mix. Uses leveraged/short ETFs; high risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample performance beats SPY on risk-adjusted return: Sharpe 1.66 vs 1.00, Calmar 2.62, and ~111% annualized return vs ~19% for SPY. Higher beta signals greater upside in up markets; watch for larger drawdowns (~42%).

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
